We’ve all found ways to look faithful without being faithful—the outward gesture that signals piety while the heart is somewhere else entirely. That’s exactly the trap Isaiah 7 sets in plain sight: a king who quotes the law of God to refuse the sign God himself is offering, and whose very piety is the problem.
Seeking to understand God’s wisdom is impossible in full, but He still invites us to experience Him and His truth.
Why do we fast, pray or give? Are we seeking the praise of people around us or are we keeping our focus on God?
